Can't install Oracle 9i on RHEL4

Question

Hello,
I'm trying to install oracle 9.2.0.4 on a Linux Red Hat 4 server (32 bits), which already hosts Oracle 10g.
runInstaller displays errors during the linking phase :
"Error in invoking target ctx_on of makefile $ORACLE_HOME/rdmbs/lib/ins_rdbms.mk"
"Error in invoking target sdo_on of makefile $ORACLE_HOME/rdmbs/lib/ins_rdbms.mk"
I've tried to follow all recommandations on this website : http://www.puschitz.com/InstallingOracle9i.shtml
and I tried the following tricks to solve the problem :
Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk, go to "INSO_LINK =", and add a "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" to the line and save it.
Here is the full line with the added "$(LDLIBFLAG)dl" flag:
INSO_LINK = -L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m $(LDLIBFLAG)dl $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ca $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ex $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_da $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ut $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ch $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fi $(LLIBCTXHX) $(LDLIBFLAG)c -Wl,-rpath,$(CTXHOME)lib $(CORELIBS) $(COMPEOBJS)
After that hit retry in the error popup.
-> didn't work
If this didn't work, then try the following:
Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/ctx/lib/env_ctx.mk again, go to "INSO_LINK =", remove the above entry you made and add a "`cat $(LIBHOME)/sysliblist`" to the line and save it.
Here is the full line with the added "`cat $(LIBHOME)/sysliblist`" string:
INSO_LINK = -L$(CTXLIB) $(LDLIBFLAG)m `cat $(LIBHOME)/sysliblist` $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ca $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fa $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ex $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_da $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ut $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_ch $(LDLIBFLAG)sc_fi $(LLIBCTXHX) $(LDLIBFLAG)c -Wl,-rpath,$(CTXHOME)lib $(CORELIBS) $(COMPEOBJS)
After that hit retry in the error popup.
-> didn't work
Edit the file $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh and change the following line:
LD_SELF_CONTAINED="-z defs"
to read:
LD_SELF_CONTAINED=""
After that run the script $ORACLE_HOME/bin/genclntsh as the user "oracle"
I got this :
./genclntsh
Created /oracle/product/9.2/lib/libclntst9.a
but runInstaller is still stuck
In the make.log, I get this message :
/usr/bin/make -f ins_rdbms.mk ctx_on ORACLE_HOME=/oracle/product/9.2
make: *** no rule to make target /oracle/product/9.2/rdbms/lib/kciwcx.o, needed by ctx_on. Stop
I don't know what else to do.
Can anybody plesae help ?
thank you
Antoine
